Around the NBA - non Heat related discussion!

Well, Mavs/Boston should be good I guess

Heat nightmare right there.

Go Mavs I guess. Credit to Dallas, their FO swung for Kyrie which could have been make or break. Made some good decisions getting PJW and Gafford at the deadline too.

I was thinking the same thing. The 2 teams I want to see In the finals least. My (sports) hatred for the Celtics is currently much higher than the Mavs, but I still can’t bring myself to prefer the Mavs….i def prefer the Mavs, though. Lol

If we strike out on all the big targets I wonder if KAT could play his value low enough for us to sneak in with a Herro trade.


Rozier
Robinson
Jimmy
KAT
Bam

Doesn't look bad at all.

Match-ups>Size.

But yea', these playoffs have been crazy. Didn't expect any of these results. Feel for Goph's

F' Mavs, but I can't hate on this team, I like these guys. Go get that chip! C's are going to be the favorites but I hope individual talent wins the day

[GopherIt!]

welp

Wolves choked this series. Dallas isn't that dominant where this should be a sweep or 5 game series. They got annointed the favs and they couldn't handle the pressure. Reminds me of Lebron against Dallas. The media probably gives them a pass since Ant is so young but to me their season was disappointment. They didn't have to win the series but this should have been a competitive series. It's a huge missed opportunity. Boston looks iffy so the title is there for the taking.

Season was a disappointment? Prior to the season beginning did you have them finishing with a better record than everyone in the east not named Boston or finishing with the 3rd best record in the west behind OKC and Denver? Did you have them beating Denver in a playoff series before the season started? Did you have them making the WCF? Highly doubt you did, so to call this season a disappointment is ridiculous man. Also each game was competitive. They basically loss each game in the final minutes. Watch the actual games and not the box scores.

Celtics is favored, they have Jrue, White and Brown to annoy Luka and Kyrie. But I have more trust on Kyrie and Luka in clutch situations.

Gotta hope Mavs can somehow punish the Celtics in the paint with these lobs.

Mavs V Celts..... Rooting for Luka to get a ring!

What about KAT makes you want to depend on him for anything in the playoffs? For all his warts, I've seen Herro have better games in the playoffs than KAT lol. And the Jimmy - KAT thing already didn't work once.

What a shame the Wolves didn’t GopherIt.

Booker and KAT are besties

If Phoenix implodes, I could see KAT for KD

Mia targeting a Bam bestie in Mitchell and should be sending feelers for his other bestie in Fox

[contract]

Just to be clear, are the Mavs considered the kind of big team that most Heat fans want?

According to league sources, Los Angeles was unwilling to offer George more than the three-year, $152.3 million extension it gave to Kawhi Leonard. However, the 34-year-old is eligible to receive a four-year, $221 million contract.

George is one year younger than Butler

Understand the idea but do not believe in KAT.

Jacking up bricks while Ant is out there doing everything to keep Minny in this series.

TBH Outside of Tim Legler, can't recall anyone who had the Mavs in the Finals at the start of the playoffs!

yes this was quite the surprised. I thought Luka & Kyrie wouldn't get this far since they both need the ball and the Kyrie antics but I forgot Kyrie made it work with LBJ in Cleveland.

Extremely surprised by the 3-0 lead but IIRC someone in here said that Minny was in trouble cuz Dallas is a serious matchup issue for 'em.

[carnageta]

Could see Minnesota pulling a Celtics from last year and extending this series to 7 games.
